In former times foreigners used to throny

the Dosah, which is q part of tho celebration
of tho Mulid Ell Ncbi, or the prophets birth

the way the author describes the horse, and

respectively, two, four and six years, one
fourth being planted with the ailanthus, the

twenty-five feet in height, the last about
twelve, and some Of the taller are seven
inches through the stem, There are i'll nll
